ATA100 in Windows 2000?

[qfg]

Is there a way to check if my HD is running in ATA100 mode in windows 2000?

1) are you using an 80-pin IDE cable to connect the hard drive

2) does your motherboard have an ata100 controller? or are you using a pci ata100 ide controller?

3) what hard drive is it? i suggest going to the manufacturer's site and downloading their utility to check whether ata100 is enabled on the hard drive.

Yes there is a way to check. You goto control panel and then to admin tools and then to computer management and then to storage right click on your hardrive and have it list the properties it will tell you if you are running in Ultra DMA mode if you are that is the same thing as ATA100.

you also need to have SP2 installed to use ATA100. otherwise it will use either ATA33 or ATA66. btw, i don't think that JorgeElPrimero's process works. maybe it's just me.
